I'm travelling and can't watch, but thanks for the updates. Mark Ballas coming in to defend Kym from Jaleel being a jerk makes me like him more. And no matter how big the confrontation, I really can't imagine any legitimate reason for being a jerk to Kym. She's handled a number of difficult celebs well in the past and doesn't seem to be particularly high strung.

OMG, Julia looks so frail...when she was diagnosed I kept thinking of Rena and how it's not ABSOLUTELY a death sentence but.... I remember seeing her at Manhattan Dance Challenge doing a Standard event in that black and white striped dress-that's as badass as it gets with Standard because with no floats and all those horizontal lines you're basically screaming "GO AHEAD AND LOOK AT MY TOPLINE, IT'S PERFECT!"

I think it's more that Melissa looks different to more people--I've seen her when she was younger. I haven't got the slightest idea who Jack Wagner is. The soap audience is slipping big-time (hence soaps that have literally been on the air since before television getting cancelled, and insert your own joke about the plot having progressed two weeks in-story here) and I don't think there's a huge crossover any more with the DWTS audience.

Unfortunately. "show business" invites these excesses.
If you want to continue working, you must appear "youthful".
Many take it to extremes, unfortunately.

There is an interview with Susan Sarandon in PEOPLE magazine this week. She admits to having had liposuction around her eyes and under her chin, but she also says something to the effect of there is no point in having so much plastic surgery that you look like a female impersonator of yourself

He's probably had some work done, but he's got lines in his face. The man loves golf, so he's in the sun probably more than he should be. He appears to be very fit. Obviously, the hair is dyed, but I think it's his. I guess I see something different than you see. I see a nice looking, 50-something man who's aged relatively well.

I thought Jack Wagner is much better looking than that Latin guy (can't think of his name) that everyone is screaming about all the time. Yeah, he's got the "sexy" Latin thing going and has a great body and all from a distance, but when they show close-ups of his face, I just don't get it.

And I'm sorry to be snarky, but I just have to put this out there somewhere - every time I see Mark Ballas, I think his head is so small. Especially next to whichever female he's dancing with. And it's not just the female's big hair next to his short hair. Weird, I know, but it really crosses my mind eveery single time.
